20 years as emergency plumber, seen more leaks from flux left on copper than leaks from speedfit.

It's not that plumbers hate this stuff. They're afraid of it. It's so simple to use, almost anyone can be a plumber. They see their huge charges evaporating.

Speed doesn’t burst or condensate but they have to be fitted correctly and fully inserted

Getting pipes done on our reno at the moment, husband wanted plastic pipes but the risk of rodents chewing through them put me off. For longevity I don’t think you can beat copper

I use plastic pipe a lot but rely on copper/metal more think about rodents chewing through things as they do have had these problems just something else to consider

Nugget :
Stuck in the past 🤣 Years on the job and you think you can lash it in in plastic and know better than a time served plumber? Plastics are for temporary connections and not good for much else. Seen far more proportionate failures from push fit than any other system comined.

Out of about a hundred bathrooms where I fitted thousands of push fits, yes the john ones, I have had serious leaks twice, one after 11 month, one after several hours. One just played the pipe in it. Not properly fitted? That wasn't the case. I triple check every push fit, the cutted pipe and everything. Still that happened. But the reliability is still excellent because the percentage is very minimal

plastic pipe, hep 2, John guest and speed fit are all WRAS approved. 100% need inserts every join

For the minimal cost make sure you fit collets on every joint - so worth it

I’m a diy plumber and I still prefer copper! Plastic pipe impact the flow rate when using for corners etc it’s not all it’s cracked up to be! I did my level 2 plumbing as I was sick of all the so called tradesmen causing me issues!

Top tip, never use flomasta stick with JG speedfit. Yes, a bit more expensive but they are much better quality.

Do the inserts obstruct full flow as the diameter at that point is reduced?
